Just over half of U.S. employees say they participate in some type of wellness-related activity, whether it’s linked to an employer-based program or not.
In addition, a poll of 617 full-time workers commissioned by Flex+Strategy Group and Work+Life Fit showed that those who work outside the confines of a traditional office are more likely to pursue the types of activities typically encouraged by wellness programs on their own, rather than through an employer-sponsored initiative.
"Teleworkers use their inherent sense of discipline, focus and ability to prioritize to not only get their work done, but also pursue a healthy lifestyle," said Cali Williams Yost, CEO of Flex+Strategy Group. "It's a positive outcome of telework that employers should value when we consider that one-third of all full-time U.S. employees now work from a remote location."
